The Nias people are a community that continues living within the norms and practices of their
indigenous culture. Customary law of the Nias people is generally referred to as fondrakö, which
[2]
regulates all aspects of life from birth to death. Historical evidence of megalithic structures and
stone carvings that are found in the interior of the island proved that ancient Nias people practiced
[3]
megalith culture. The caste system is also recognized in Nias society, whereby the highest level
[4]
out of the 12 levels in the Nias caste system is Balugu. In order to reach this level of the caste, one
must be able to carry out big festivals by inviting thousands of people and slaughtering thousands of
pigs for several days.
